EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sight Visus Quinque Sensuum ca 1655" is a true masterpiece that showcases the artistic brilliance of Franz Cleyn. The print, measuring approximately 3 3/4 by 7 15/16 inches (95 by 202 cm), transports us to a world where personification takes center stage. In this horizontal panel, we are introduced to a mesmerizing female figure who represents sight or visus. She stands gracefully before an arch formed by intricate strapwork and adorned with a delicate garland. The arch itself is surrounded by inhabited scrollwork, adding depth and complexity to the composition. As our eyes wander around the artwork, we notice charming putti riding on eagles in the upper left corner, symbolizing the power of vision. In contrast, at the lower part of the image lies glasses and a spyglass - tools that aid human sight in exploring distant horizons. Franz Cleyn's attention to detail truly shines through in this engraving as every element has been meticulously crafted. The use of contrasting textures and fine lines creates an exquisite visual experience for viewers. The Liszt Collection has once again captured an extraordinary piece from art history that not only celebrates Cleyn's talent but also invites contemplation on our own perception of reality through sight.
